Lyrics:
Are you hangin’ on for dear life, are you squeezin’ your eyes shut tight?
Are you resistin’ every hair-pin turn with all your might?
Unwrap your hands from the safety bar
Relax your grip or you won’t get far in this life

I know how it feels to wanna let go

It’s up to me
How do you wanna ride?
It’s up to me
I’m gonna make me feel alright

Are you holding your tongue and waiting for your turn?
And are you tying your gut into knots as you silently burn?
Sing out your truth, don’t play it down
Step out of line and grab that crown with both hands

I’ve gotta be brave and pave my own way

It’s up to me
How do you wanna ride?
It’s up to me
I’m gonna make me feel alright

Are you sayin’ “yes” when you wanna say no?
Are you workin’ overtime when it’s time to come home?
You can blame your job, your industry
But that won’t get you where you wanna belong

Stand up for yourself and say it out loud

It’s up to me
How do you wanna ride?
It’s up to me
Cuz I’m gonna make me feel alright
It’s up to me
It’s up to me
I'm gonna make me feel...
